Georgia's 9th congressional district

Georgia's 9th congressional district is a congressional district in the north of the U.S. state of Georgia. The district is represented by Republican Andrew Clyde, who succeeded incumbent fellow Republican Doug Collins. The district is mostly rural and exurban in character, though it stretches into Hall and Forsyth counties on Atlanta's northern fringe. It also includes a slice of Athens.

The district has a heavy Republican lean. Donald Trump carried the district with almost 78 percent of the vote in 2016, his fourth-best showing in the nation. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+31, on paper it is the fourth most Republican district in the nation and the second most Republican district in the Eastern Time Zone. Since then-congressman and future governor Nathan Deal switched parties in 1995, no Democrat running in the district has crossed the 40 percent mark, and only one Democrat has won as much as 30 percent.
